01 — What you actually get

A page, like an app.

A movable
focus window.

One shortcut moves the current tab into a clean window. Resizable. Snap it next to your notes — multitasking stays possible.

One keystroke · Resizable

Not fullscreen.
On purpose.

⌘⇧F is all-or-nothing — that whole monitor, one tab. Focus Mode keeps your other windows reachable. You stay productive across screens.

Across monitors

Anti-bloat
by design.

No sign-up. No data collection. No productivity dashboard you'll never open. The tool does one thing well — and gets out of the way.

Zero telemetry
02 — How it works

From any tab to a quiet window — in one keystroke.

No setup. No account. No moving your work to another app. You install it, press the shortcut, and the noise is gone.

01

Open any page.

Twitter, your inbox, a docs tab, a YouTube tutorial — anything that lives in a browser tab. Focus Mode doesn't care which site you're on.

02

Press the shortcut.

Cmd + Shift + X on Mac, Ctrl + Shift + X on Windows. The current tab pops out into a clean window — no tabs, no URL bar, no bookmarks.

03

Press Escape to come back.

The focus window closes. The original tab is still there, exactly where you left it. Nothing was copied, sent, or stored anywhere — there's no server in the middle.

Cmd + Shift + Fisn't the answer.

Without going fullscreen.

The current tab opens in a chrome-less window you can still move, resize, and snap next to anything else. Press Escape and you're back. Nothing closed, nothing lost.

03 — Coming with Pro

A workspace,
not just a window.

Save the pages a project actually needs — your draft, your research, the brief — into a named Space. Reopen Focus Mode tomorrow and the Space is still there, intact. No setup ritual.

06 — Honest answers

The questions people actually ask.

If you have a question that's not here, the founder reads every Chrome Web Store review and replies — usually within a day.

Do I need an account? +
No. The Chrome extension works the moment you install it — no sign-up, no email, no data leaving your machine. The webapp is a separate, optional layer, only useful if you ever want sync.
Does it work on every site? +
Yes. Anything Chrome can render — Gmail, Notion, GitHub, YouTube, Figma, your bank, your CMS. Focus Mode doesn't change the page, it just hides the browser around it.
How is this different from Cmd + Shift + X (fullscreen)? +
Fullscreen takes over your whole monitor. Focus Mode opens a chrome-less window you can still drag, resize, and snap next to your notes or your editor. You stay productive across screens.
Will it slow down my browser? +
No. The extension is small, runs locally, and makes zero network calls during a focus session. There's no telemetry, no analytics, no background sync.
What about my data? +
Nothing leaves your machine. There's no server in the loop for the extension. The optional webapp only stores what you explicitly sync to it — and only if you create an account.
Can I uninstall it later without losing anything? +
Yes. Right-click the extension, hit remove. Your tabs, bookmarks, and history stay exactly as they were. Focus Mode doesn't touch them.

One shortcut.
Tabs gone.

The original tab is still there. So is your work.
